Dec. 4th Thursday: today was exceptionally good! We had a meeting with the insurance group that covers the missionaries down here! Greg got his map out and off we went!!
One and a half hours later this is the conversation:
me - driving - do you know where we are right now?
Greg - directing - yes we need to turn left at the next street we come to!
me - this one!
Greg - yes turn right, right up there
me - you told me to turn left
Greg - now turn right, the map is weird
me - are we almost there?
Greg - the building should be around the corner! But it doesn't really look like a neighborhood to have a big building in!
me - so we are lost!
Greg - no we just need to find a main street
Greg - yep we are lost, turn around and go the other way!
me - are you sure?
Greg - yes, hurry we are 1 1/2 hours late for our meeting
me coming to a fork in the road - which way?
Greg - this is not the right way, turn around!
me - we just came from there
Greg - I know, but that is the right way!
me - Ok, why don't you call and find out where we are (in a REALLY poor area of Mexico)
Greg - this is the right way
me - now which way do I go?
Greg - I think the main street is the other way, TURN AROUND
me- OH for heavens sake Greg! Just call someone to help us get out of here!
Greg - no, this is the way, I am sure. Turn right at the next street
me - OK, here is the ONE way street, going the opposite way!
Greg - Just keep going we will find a street then!
me - do I have to pull over and look at the dang map myself???
Greg - I know where we are right now! Get on this freeway and go to the next exit!
me - now is tons of traffic - this exit?
Greg - no, you can't get off here
me - then where?
me - Greg take some pics! It is cool being down in here with these people!
Greg - no, I don't have time!
me - Greg take some pics! It is cool being down in here with these people!
Greg - no, I don't have time!
Greg - just up here
me - Ok, that worked, now where?
Greg - turn right up there
me - Ok, now where?
Greg - the building should be right here ! OH you passed it! Cant turn around cause it's one way and don't know how to go around the block!
me - give me the phone, I will call the Dr we are suppose to be meeting and find out where we are suppose to go!
Greg - already calling! Oh oops, we need to be on the other side of the freeway!
me - I am about ready to throw you right out of this car!
Greg - Wait! Turn right there!
me - here?
Greg - no, right up there!
me - oh my ****!
Greg - OK, go slow, the building is right up here! TURN right now into that driveway!
me - this is the wrong building it looks like!
Greg - we need to go around the block and go in on the other side of the building!
me - SERIOUSLY?
Greg - just go up there and around you go!
Greg - K it's that building right up there, see it?
me - yes, but where is the driveway!
Greg - OHHH you just passed it. Pull over on this one way street going the wrong way! Look there is a big sidewalk, I will go ask the guy if he will move his big cone and we can back up a little and drive down the sidewalk to the parking garage!
me after he gets out of the car - THTHTHHHHHTHHHHthhthhhhhhhthtthhh!
Greg - signaling for me to back up a little and drive down the sidewalk!
Guy moves the big cone and in we go!
FACT # 1 - this building was right down the main street by our house!
That my friends equals another fun day in Paradise!
I couldn't move the rest of the day! I need a stress cleanser!
SO MUCH FOR MISSIONARY WORK TODAY!

| Greg - follow that recyclable garbage truck - he will show us the way out of here! |
LOL! I loved the play by play (and Greg's side of the story via FB)
ReplyDeleteYour ending pic and caption was hysterical.
Have I told you lately that you're my hero? :)
This is hilarious. Why didn't you ask the guy where his building was when you scheduled the meeting? Seems like a no-brainer. :)
ReplyDeleteWe are having the same driving experience here in Utah Valley, but they do speak English (mostly).
ReplyDeleteThis made my day! Thanks for the laugh!
